PUBLIC COMMENT ON THESE TWO
AGENDA ITEMS. AGAIN, AGENDA
ITEMS ONE AND TWO. OUR FIRST IN
PERSON SPEAKER IS MIKE ACI.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS
MIKE ACI, PIONEER WASHINGTON
SAINT MEDICAL CANNABIS. I AM TH
VICE PRESIDENT OF BLACK
EXCELLENCE IN CANNABIS, A
NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION FIGHTING
FOR INCLUSION. HOUSE BILL 2870
SOCIAL EQUITY IN CANNABIS, WOUL
NOT EXIST IN PETER MANNING,
PRESIENT OF, HAS NOT SPOKE UP
IN 2015 REGARDING A LACK OF
BLACK INCLUSION IN THE LEGAL
CANNABIS INDUSTRY. COUNCILMEMBE
MOSQUEDA, YOU ARE FULLY AWARE
OF PETER'S AND MY HISTORY IN
WASHINGTON STATE CANNABIS.
COUNCILMEMBER MOSQUEDA, YOU AND
I ARE GEODUCK ALUMNI. WE
TREATED HEATHER WITH HIGH
RESPECT . RECENT ARTICLES STATE
LACKS EXCELLENT CANNABIS WAS
PRESENT FOR THE HISTORICAL
FINANCE SOCIAL EQUITY AND
CANNABIS BY MAYOR HARRELL. THI
WAS COMPLETELY FALSE. BLACK
EXCELLENCE IN CANNABIS WAS NOT
PRESENT. WE WERE SIMPLY AN
AFTERTHOUGHT. JAMAL CRAWFORD I
A PIONEER OF RAYNOR BEACH BOYS
BASKETBALL. IT WOULD MAKE SENSE
FOR HIM TO BE PART OF THE
GROUNDBREAKING FOR NEW RAYNOR
BEACH HIGH SCHOOL ALONG WITH
MAYOR HARRELL. YOU WOULD THINK
PETER MANNING, AND MEDICAL
CANNABIS PIONEER, ALONG WITH
MYSELF, WOULD BE RESPECTED AND
RECEIVE AN INVITE TO THE SIDING
THIS QUESTION WAS ASKED BY A
JOURNALIST. WHERE ARE THE BLACK
PIONEERS ? BUT INSTEAD, THERE
WAS THE ILLUSION, WITH
HAND-PICKED BLACKS WHO WERE ONL
THERE TO BE SERVANTS . HAVING A
SEAT AT THE TABLE FOR FUTURE
CITY OF SEATTLE SOCIAL EQUITY I
CANNABIS DIALOGUE WAS FINE, BUT
THE QUESTION IS, WHAT WILL BE
CITY DO TO UNDO THE HARM FROM
THE UNJUST CLOSURES BY THE CITY
IN 2015, 2016? SEEING CITY OF
SEATTLE EMPLOYEES WHO WERE
DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE UNJUS
CLOSURES OF BLACK-OWNED
DISPENSARIES PRESENT AT A SOCIA
EQUITY CANNABIS SIGNING WAS A
SLAP IN THE FACE, BRINGING THE
PAST TRAUMA BACK TO THE
FOREFRONT. CITY OF SEATTLE SEEM
TO BE COMPLETELY OUT OF THE
TOUCH WITH THE COMMUNITY AND
BLACK PIONEERS. WE WILL NOT
STAND FOR ILLUSION OF INCLUSION
COUNCILMEMBER SAWANT, YOU HAVE
BEEN VERY OUTSPOKEN REGARDING
SOCIAL INJUSTICE TO BLACKS. WE
HAVE REACHED OUT TO YOU SEVERAL
MONTHS AGO AND HAVE NOT HEARD
BACK.
>> OH MY GOD, YOU GUYS CUT ME
OFF! REAL DISRESPECT. IN HERE,
I SPOKE FOR ONE MINUTE. WITH
TWO SECONDS LEFT, IT'S JUST
DISRESPECTFUL.
>> OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS PETER
MANNING.
>> I AM PETER MANNING WITH
BLACK EXCELLENCE IN CANNABIS.
REALLY DON'T LIKE TO USE TITLES
BUT ONE THING I WILL USE IN MY
WAR CHEST IS THE FACT THAT
SOCIAL EQUITY WAS BROUGHT TO TH
FOREFRONT I MYSELF IN 2014. I
NOTICED THERE WAS AN AND
DISCREPANCY, OR THERE WAS, THER
WAS A LACK OF INCLUSION OF BLAC
AND BROWN IN THE CANNABIS
INDUSTRY IN THE STATE OF
WASHINGTON. I, I PITCHED THIS
ARGUMENT TO THE LCD. I KEPT UP
THE FIGHT AND GOT THE NOTION,
OR WAS TRIED -- I WAS GIVEN THE
NOTION THAT I WAS, I WAS UNDER
SOME TYPE OF DELUSION. CLEAR AS
DAY , THERE IS NO BLACK OR BROW
REPRESENTATION IN THE CANNABIS
INDUSTRY. TO HAVE A CITY COUNCI
PERSON , TO HAVE SOMEONE FROM
THE MAYOR'S OFFICE GO BEFORE TH
MEDIA AND SAY THAT WE WERE AT
SOME ADVANTAGE, WHICH WE WEREN'
, FOR SOME SOCIAL EQUITY
SIGNING, WHICH WAS AN INSULT TO
US AS AN ORGANIZATION, IT'S AN
INSULT TO HIS BLACK AND BROWN
PEOPLE. I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE
MEDIA TO GET A HOLD OF THIS, TO
DIG INTO IT, TO SINK THEIR TEET
IN IT. BECAUSE RECENTLY, I JUST
READ AN ARTICLE WHERE IT TALKED
ABOUT MARGINALIZATION. IT WAS A
COMMISSIONER. IT WAS A GROUP OF
THEM, AND THE SAME THING THAT
THEY SPOKE OF THAT I SPOKE OF
HERE BEFORE. THE PROBLEM IS,
WHEN PEOPLE TALK ABOUT US AND
DON'T INCLUDE US IN THE
CONVERSATION, AS IF WE'RE
INCOMPETENT TO STAND OR TO
RECOGNIZE SOCIAL INEQUALITY IN
OUR, IN OUR COMMUNITIES.
COUNCILMEMBER MOSQUEDA , BREANN
TAYLOR. WE RECOGNIZE THE, THE,
THE INEQUALITY IN OUR COMMUNITY
WE DON'T NEED YOU TO PUT A BLAC
FACE OR BROWN FACE ON A WHITE
AGENDA. WE NEED YOU TO
UNDERSTAND THERE'S A REAL
AGENDA ABOUT A LACK OF INCLUSIO
IN THIS CANNABIS INDUSTRY IN
WASHINGTON , AND WE'RE GOING TO
STAND HERE AND WE'RE GOING TO
SCREAM IT FROM THE HIGHEST
POINT. THANK YOU.
>> OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS
MARGUERITE BECHARD.
>> YES, MY NAME IS MARGUERITE
BECHARD , AND I STAND IN -- MY
NAME IS MARGUERITE BECHARD , AN
I STAND IN SOLIDARITY OF THE
PEOPLE IN L.A. COUNTY THAT
CHOSE TO STEP FORWARD AS A
RESULT OF WHAT LORI MARTINEZ
SAID. NOW, BACK TO THIS. I'M
HOLDING EXHIBIT A BECAUSE OF
THE FACT THAT OUR FREE SPEECH I
STILL BEING CHOPPED UP, OKAY? S
WE HAVE ALEX TSIMERMAN. I'M NOT
DEFENDING HIM. I'M DEFENDING TH
CONSTITUTION IN WHICH JUDGE
BROWN STATED , YOU DON'T HAVE T
LIKE ME, AND I DON'T HAVE TO
LIKE YOU, BUT I DO HAVE TO
ENFORCE THE CONSTITUTION OF THE
UNITED STATES. SO AS LONG AS I'
NOT THREATENING, AND I'M NOT
YELLING "FIRE" IN A BUILDING
THAT'S NOT ON FIRE, THEN YOU
CAN SAY WHATEVER YOU NEED TO
SAY, AND THAT'S KIND OF LIKE
WHAT THE OUTSKIRTS HAVE DONE
WITH ME EVER SINCE I'VE BEEN
TESTIFYING. SO I COME HERE, AND
I, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF I
CREATED A PROBLEM. I DON'T THIN
SO. I THINK THAT IT'S
OFF-BALANCE, JUST LIKE HOW THEY
TALK ABOUT THE CHICKENS COMING
HOME TO ROOST BECAUSE OF WHAT
HAPPENED IN L.A. COUNTY. IT WAS
DOWN IN THE PITS SOMEWHERE, AN
THEY HAD TO COME FORWARD SO WE
COULD SEE THE REALITY OF WHAT
GOES ON BEHIND THE SCENES ALL
THE TIME, AND THEN YOU PUT A
SIGN ON THE FIRST FLOOR, BLACK
LIVES MATTER , AND HONORABLE
MICHAEL B. FULLER AND MYSELF
SITTING THERE, AND THEN A
FOREIGN GUARD COMES UP THERE AN
CAUSES POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS
BECAUSE IT HAPPENED IN JUNE,
AND HE WAS DEAD IN AUGUST. YOU
SAY, OH, I DIDN'T DO IT! YES,
YOU DID. BECAUSE I HAD NEVER
SEEN HIM SO, SO UPSET IN MY LIF
COME OUT OF ALL THE YEARS THAT
HAVE BEEN KNOWING HIM. YEAH, 21
SO THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. I
DON'T AGREE WITH YOU JUST
TRESPASSING SOMEBODY BECAUSE
YOU DIDN'T LIKE WHAT THEY SAID
AND THEY WERE THREATENING! THE
WERE OBEYING THE CONSTITUTION
WHEN THEY WERE SPEAKING!
>> WE WILL NOW MOVE INTO REMOTE
PUBLIC COMMENT , AND OUR FIRST
PUBLIC COMMENT TO REMOTELY AS
HOWARD GALE.
>> THANK YOU. MR. GALE?
>> GOOD AFTERNOON. HOWARD GALE
DISTRICT 7 WITH SEATTLE
STOP.ORG. TWO YEARS AGO, TWO
YEARS AFTER GEORGE FLOYD, THE
BUDGET, THE COUNCIL IS NOW
CONSIDERING PROPOSES MORE MONEY
FOR THE POLICE AND WASTES OVER
$11 MILLION ON POLICE
ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM THAT
STILL HAS POLICE INVESTIGATING
POLICE. THIS IS $11 MILLION
SPENT DENYING VICTIMS OF POLICE
VIOLENCE, AND HE APPEALS OR AN
SEMBLANCE OF JUSTICE FOR
ACCOUNTABILITY. THIS BUDGET
PROVIDES MONIES FOR VICTIMS OF
VIOLENCE UNLESS THAT VIOLENCE
IS PERPETRATED BY A SEATTLE
POLICE OFFICER. THIS BUDGET
PROVIDES MONIES TO STEM GUN
VIOLENCE , UNLESS THAT VIOLENCE
IS PERPETRATED BY A SEATTLE
POLICE OFFICER. THIS BIAS IS
EMBEDDED THROUGHOUT OUR PUBLIC
SAFETY SYSTEM. SEATTLE POLICE D
NOT EVEN COUNT POLICE KILLINGS
AS HOMICIDES IN OUR HOMICIDE
DATA , THOUGH KING COUNTY AND
EVERY OTHER STATE AGENCY
REPORTING THESE STATS, OF
COURSE, DOES. WHY DEFEND AND
SUPPORT THOSE THAT PERPETRATE
THE VIOLENCE WHEN THEY ARE
POLICE, AND DENIED THE VICTIMS
AND THEIR FAMILIES ANY FORM OF
SUPPORT? OUR CURRENT
ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEMS ARE NOT
ASSISTING VICTIMS WITH
NAVIGATING A FLAWED SYSTEM ,
MORE DESIGNED TO PROTECT POLICE
OFFICERS AS OPPOSED TO HOLDING
THEM ACCOUNTABLE. VICTIM
LANDSCAPE COMPLAINTS ARE LOW
LOST IN BUREAUCRACY AND
DISMISSED THE VAST MAJORITY OF
THE TIME, WITHOUT ANY PROCESS O
RIGHT OF APPEAL, DESPITE CITY
LAW MANDATING SUCH A PROCESS
OVER FIVE YEARS AGO. I WANT TO
REPEAT THAT. IN 2017, THIS
COUNCIL PASSED A LAW REQUIRING
A RIGHT OF APPEAL WHEN CASES G
TO OPA. THERE HAS BEEN NO
PROGRESS ON THAT. NOTHING HAS
BEEN DONE. WE NEED A BUDGET
THAT SERVES PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY
THOSE INJURED BY HOW YOU SPEND
OUR TAX MONEY. WE NEED MONIES
TO SUPPORT VICTIMS OF POLICE
VIOLENCE AND THEIR FAMILIES, AN
WE NEED A POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY
SYSTEM THAT ACTUALLY HOLDS
POLICE ACCOUNTABLE. PLEASE GO T
SEATTLE STOP.ORG TO FIND OUT HO
SEATTLE STOP.ORG. THANK YOU.
>> OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS JOE
CONSULAR.
>> HELLO, JOE. JOE? MR.
CONSULAR?
>> HI, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
>> YES, WE CAN.
>> ARE. GOOD TO HEAR YOU,
COUNCIL PRESIDENT JUAREZ. GOOD
TO HEAR YOUR VOICE AND HEAR
YOU'RE DOING WELL.
>> THANK YOU.
>> COUPLE OF ITEMS. FIRST, LET
ME CHECK THE AGENDA. ITEM K , I
THINK YOU KNOW PERSONALLY , BUT
FOR THOSE COUNCILMEMBERS WHO
DON'T KNOW, I'M NOT A BIG FAN O
ANYONE WITH HATE AT A PUBLIC
MEETING , AND I FIND THAT
DISRUPTIVE, AND IT'S BEEN AN
ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS
INDIVIDUAL, AND I'M VERY
DISAPPOINTED AS WELL THAT THE
DOCUMENTS RELATED TO HIS APPEAL
AND THE EXCLUSION ARE NOT
ONLINE . THOSE DOCUMENTS SHOULD
BE ONLINE, BECAUSE I THINK THAT
THERE SHOULD BE PUBLIC SCRUTINY
OF THIS INDIVIDUALS BEHAVIOR ,
AND THE RESPONSE TO IT, AND
HOPEFULLY OTHER GOVERNMENTS
WILL COPY SEATTLE'S RESPONSE.
RIGHT NOW, I'M TRYING TO GET TO
SEATTLE -- SORRY, THE REGIONAL
COUNCIL TO COPY THE SOUTH
TRANSIT RULES OF CONDUCT, WHICH
WAS BASED SOMEWHAT ON YOURS,
SOMEWHAT ON COMMUNITY TRANSIT'S
THIS INDIVIDUAL 'S HATE SPEECH
MAKES ME WANT TO GO FROM
ADDRESSING THE ISSUES AT HAND T
BEING PROTECTIVE OF
COUNCILMEMBERS AND STAFF , AND
AS WELL AS MY JEWISH RELATIVES
AND I JUST REALLY THINK THAT H
NEEDS TO BE EXCLUDED FOR LIFE.
HE HARASSED YOU AND
COUNCILMEMBER MOSQUEDA AND
FORMER COUNCIL PRESIDENT
GONZALES . HE IS NOT BAD FOR
LIFE. I DON'T THINK THAT'S
RIGHT. THERE'S ALSO ANOTHER
ISSUE I HAVE TO BRING UP. IT I
MY UNDERSTANDING, FOR MANY
SOCIAL MEDIA REPORTS, INCLUDING
A COALITION OF OPEN GOVERNMENT
AWARD WINNER, WHOSE NAME
CARRIES A LOT OF WEIGHT, THAT
COUNCILMEMBER DAN STRAUSS HELD
A PRIVATE MEETING YESTERDAY AND
KICKED THE MEDIA OUT, AND I JUS
FIND THAT BENEATH HIM. I FIND
THAT THE NIECE OF THE
OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF
COUNCILMEMBERS , AND I, I HOPE
IN MY LAST 30 SECONDS I CAN
STRESS TO YOU THE IMPORTANCE OF
RESPECTING THE ROLE OF THE
MEDIA. SOMETIMES, THE MEDIA
SAYS AND PRINTS THINGS --
>> THANK YOU.
>> THAT IS THE LAST PUBLIC
COMMENT OR WHO WAS PRESENT.
>> ALL RIGHT. SO AS WE STATED
EARLIER, WE HAD THREE FOLKS CAL
IN, AND WE HAD THREE PEOPLE IN
CHAMBER, SO THAT DOES -- WE HAV
REACHED THE END IN OUR AGENDA O
THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD , SO
ON OUR AGENDA, I WILL GO TO THE
ADOPTION OF THE IRC. IF THERE I
NO OBJECTION. THE INTRODUCTION
AND REFERRAL CALENDAR WILL BE
ADOPTED. NOT HEARING AN
OBJECTION, THE IRC IS INDEED
ADOPTED. MOVING ONTO ADOPTION
OF THE AGENDA , IF THERE'S NO
ADOPTION, THE AGENDA WILL BE
ADOPTED. NOT SEEING OR HEARING
AN OBJECTION, THE AGENDA IS
ADOPTED. GOING ONTO THE CONSENT
CALENDAR . ADOPTION OF THE
CONSENT CALENDAR. MY
UNDERSTANDING IS THAT NONE OF M
COLLEAGUES HAD ASKED THAT ANY
ITEM BE REMOVED , AND SO, WITH
THAT, LET ME BRIEFLY SUGGEST OR
STATE WHAT IS ON THE CONSENT
CALENDAR. THE MINUTES OF OCTOBE
4th , PAYROLL BILLS, COUNCIL BE
120431 AND 120 432 . COUNSEL
BILL 120427 , AND A CLERK FILE
CLERK FILE 314439 THOSE ARE
THE ITEMS ON THE CONSENT
CALENDAR. SO MOVING ON , I MOVE
TO ADOPT THE -- I'M SORRY.
COUNCILMEMBER MORALES, YOU HAVE
YOUR HEAD UP?
>> I'M SORRY, COUNCIL PRESIDENT
I JUST WANT TO KNOW THAT I AM
HERE, JUST A FEW MINUTES LATE.
>> OH, OH GOOD. I'M GLAD. THANK
YOU. LET'S NOTE THAT
COUNCILMEMBER MORALES IS INDEED
PRESIDENT OKAY, WITH THAT, I
MOVED TO ADOPT THE CONSENT
CALENDAR. IS THERE A SECOND?
>> SECOND.
>> THANK YOU. IT'S BEEN MOVED
AND SECONDED TO ADOPT THE
CONSENT CALENDAR. WILL THE
CLERK PLEASE CAUSE THE ROLE ON
THE ADOPTION OF THE CONSENT
CALENDAR?
>>
>> COUNCILMEMBER PEDERSEN?
>> YES
>> COUNCILMEMBER SAWANT?
>> YES.
>> COUNCILMEMBER STRAUSS?
>> YES.
>> COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD?
>> YES.
>> COUNCILMEMBER LEWIS?
>> YES.
>> COUNCILMEMBER MORALES?
>> YES.
>> COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD? IT
AYE
>> COUNCILMEMBER NELSON?
>> AYE .
>> COUNCIL PRESIDENT JUAREZ?
>> YES.
>> NINE IN FAVOR, NOT OPPOSE.
>> MADAM CLERK, WILL YOU PLEAS
AFFIX MY SIGNATURE TO THE
MINUTES AND THE LEGISLATION ON
THE CONSENT CALENDAR ON MY
BEHALF? MOVING ON TO OUR AGENDA
TO COMMITTEE REPORTS. FIRST UP
OUT OF LAND-USE IS ITEM NUMBER
ONE, AND WE'LL BE HEARING FROM
MR. STRAUSS IN A MINUTE. MADAM
CLERK, WILL YOU PLEASE READ ITE
ONE INTO THE RECORD?
>> ITEM ONE , CLERK FILE 314447
APPLICATION OF ISOLA HOMES TO
REZONE A PORTION OF A SPLIT ZON
SITE LOCATED AT 70 12 ROOSEVELT
WAY NORTHEAST. THE COMMUNITY
RECOMMENDS THE CITY COUNCIL
GRANT BE AMENDED FOR FILE.
>> COUNSEL STRAUSS?
>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT
THIS CLERK FILE 314447 IS A
CONTRACT RESULT OF A PORTION OF
A SPLIT ZONE LOT IN ROOSEVELT
NEIGHBORHOOD. THE REZONE IS FRO
LOW RISE 1 TO NEIGHBORHOOD
COMMERCIAL 2 WITH A 50 FOOT
HEIGHT LIMIT, AND M2 MANDATORY
HOUSING AFFORDABILITY
DESIGNATION. THIS PARCEL WILL
ALSO BE INCLUDED IN ROOSEVELT
STATION OVERLAY , AND THIS
REASONING WILL ALLOW FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF 91 UNITS , 91
UNIT APARTMENT BUILDINGS,
INCLUDING SEVEN AFFORDABLE
HOUSING UNITS. THEY ARE CHOOSIN
TO PERFORM ON-SITE RATHER THAN
PAY THE MHA FEE. AS DCI AND TH
HEARING EXAMINER RECOMMENDED
APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS, AS DI
THE LAND-USE COMMITTEE. THE TWO
PIECES OF LEGISLATION THAT NEED
TO BE ACTED ON TODAY, THE CLERK
FILE BEFORE US TODAY CONTAINING
THE COUNCIL'S FINDINGS,
DECISIONS, AND CONCLUSION
PROVING THE REZONE, AND THEN,
SECOND, THE ITEM THAT IS UP NEX
IS A COUNCIL BILL THAT WOULD
MAKE THE REZONE EFFECTIVE. SINC
THIS IS WHEN IS IN COUNCILMEMBE
PEDERSEN'S DISTRICT, HAPPY TO
HEAR IF HE HAS SOME NICE
REMARKS, AND THEN THAT IS THE
COMMITTEE REPORT.
>> WELL, I SEE HIS LITTLE HAND
-- I'M SORRY, I SEE HIS HAND IS
UP, I'M SORRY. COUNCILMEMBER
PEDERSEN, GO AHEAD.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT
, AND LAND-USE COMMITTEE CHAIR
STRAUSS. REALLY APPRECIATE
COUNCILMEMBER STRAUSS PROVIDING
SOMETIME IN OUR LAND USE
COMMITTEE TO DISCUSS THIS
PROJECT , WHICH IS IN DISTRICT
4. SINCE IT'S IN MY COUNCIL
DISTRICT , I'LL BRIEFLY EXPLAIN
MY POSITION , BECAUSE SEVERAL
CONSTITUENTS DID RAISE
QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS ABOUT TH
PRODUCT OVER THE PAST SEVERAL
MONTHS. THE DETAILS MATTER, YOU
KNOW? IN MY VIEW, IT'S NOT
SUFFICIENT TO AUTOMATICALLY
ASSUME THAT UPLOADING IS ALWAY
BENEFICIAL TO THE PUBLIC,
BECAUSE EACH SITUATION IS
DIFFERENT. IN THIS CASE, AFTER
MUCH CONSIDERATION, I BELIEVE
THIS PROJECT WILL BE
BENEFICIAL. I BELIEVE IT'S A NE
POSITIVE FOR THE COMMUNITY.
WHILE THE PROJECT WILL DEMOLIS
AN EMPTY SMALL BUSINESS
STRUCTURE AND A SINGLE-FAMILY
HOME AND SEVERAL TREES ,
INCLUDING A LARGE CONIFER WILL
BE REMOVED, IN EXCHANGE, THE
PROJECT WOULD BUILD 91
RESIDENTIAL UNITS . NOT ONLY 84
MARKER UNITS, IT ALSO SEVEN LOW
INCOME UNITS ON SITE. THIS IS
RARE EXAMPLE OF FOR-PROFIT REA
ESTATE BUILDING THOSE LOW
INCOME HOUSING UNITS RIGHT AWAY
, ON-SITE, PERFORMING, INSTEAD
OF WRITING A CHECK FOR THOSE TO
BE BUILT LATER. THIS INCREASE
IN DENSITY IS NOT JUST ANYWHERE
IT'S DIRECTLY ON OUR CITY'S
FREQUENT TRANSIT BUS NETWORK ,
JUST A THREE MINUTE WALK FROM A
NEW LIGHT RAIL STATION AND
WHILE THIS PRODUCT IS ASKING FO
A REZONE THAT WAS NOT PART OF
THE ORIGINAL UP ZONE OF THE
ROOSEVELT NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT
URBAN VILLAGE UP ZONE IS MORE
THAN 10 YEARS OLD, SO IT'S, IT
WAS WORTH REVISITING THIS ON
THIS SITE. IN ADDITION, THE
PRODUCT WHETHER A PUBLIC PROCES
THAT COLLECTED AND CONSIDERED
COMMUNITY INPUT. SO OVERALL,
WITH ALL THE TRADE-OFFS, I
BELIEVE THIS PRODUCT MAKES A LO
OF SENSE. WELL IT'S NOT AS
BENEFICIAL AS THE 254 NEW LOW
INCOME HOUSING UNITS, JUST A
BLOCK AWAY AT CEDAR CROSSING,
BELIEVE THIS RESULT WILL BE A
NET POSITIVE FOR THE
NEIGHBORHOOD, SO CONSISTENT WIT
MY VOTE IN COMMITTEE, I'LL BE
VOTING YESTERDAY ON THIS
PROPOSED PROJECT. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. HEY, COUNCIL
MEMBER STRAUSS, BEFORE I HEADED
BACK OVER TO YOU, TWO QUICK
THINGS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS
PAST OUT OF YOUR COMMITTEE
UNANIMOUSLY, AND I ALSO WANT TO
THANK YOU, I KNOW THAT ALL OF

DEFERRING TO THE PARTICULAR
COUNCILMEMBER WHOSE DISTRICT A
LOT OF THESE ISSUES ARE SITUATE

TIME YOU WANT TO DO THAT AS A
COMMITTEE CHAIR TO RECOGNIZE
YOUR COLLEAGUES THAT REPRESENTS
THE DISTRICT , JUST GO AHEAD AN
DO THAT. DON'T WAIT FOR ME TO,
YOU KNOW, SAY ANYTHING. IF YOU
GOT SOMETHING TO SAY. ANYWAY,
COUNCILMEMBER NELSON, YOU HAVE
YOUR HAND UP.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I
SUPPORT THIS LEGISLATION. I, I
DON'T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING
WITH THAT SMALL BUSINESS THAT I
BEING, THAT WILL HAVE TO MOVE,
BUT PLEASE DO ENCOURAGE THAT
BUSINESS AND OTHERS IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN THEY ARE
FACING THIS KIND OF SITUATION
THAT THERE IS, THERE ARE SOME
GRANTS FOR TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

NEW PLACE. THANKS.

HAVE YOUR HEAD UP AGAIN?
